Of course! I made a post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2002082
I just have the icons I made so far saved on a google drive folder
But yeah, like I mentioned on the post, if there’s any kind of icon you want designed, feel free to ask and I’ll see what I can whip up
Only if it’s exaggerated for the sake of appearances. Some people might do that, either to make themselves look important or seek attention, but most of the time, people are in fact busy with some task, or are carrying something for a reason. And generally, that comes with some purpose that is important to them at the time.
It’s a logical conclusion to draw, even if some people may hijack that reasoning to be deceitful.
I wouldn’t call it a matter of need. While I want to see Lemmy grow, I don’t think that we should rely on outrage on another platform to drive our own activity in the long term. While the number of users joining has slowed down, it certainly hasn’t halted.
All we can do is make Lemmy as solid and enticing of a platform as possible, and leave those on Reddit to choose between supporting a platform they don’t like and leaving. We shouldn’t be responsible for forcing their hand, but we should be responsible for maintaining a healthy community here.
I think even something like a indie video game developer hosting a forum on Lemmy instead of Reddit would do wonders for making Lemmy “mainstream”. Or even a youtuber, streamer, or some other content creator at that. But of course, it’s not something I’d go out of my way to do; just something that I think will happen in due time.
Thanks! Apologies for the delay, was out this entire morning and just got back to my PC. Two files should be added to the drive folder named Lemmy_WhiteOutline and Lemmy_WhiteFill. One of the two should be what you’re looking for, but if not, just lemmy know
Thanks! Just added the circle-less vanced ones to the folder
Same goes for SquareHome as well, the Android Launcher that I use. I’m not sure if stock android has the option to let you edit app icons, but most custom launchers should
I’m actually working on a few right now! I’ll try and have em done by the end of today, and I’ll see if I can post em to this community
It’s a choice between 2004 and 2019. As overdone as minimalist designs can be at times, I find the simple, fiery gradient in 2019 to be gorgeous, along with the smooth curves. A really detailed logo in this day and age would look a bit out of place. 2017 and 2019 go for a similar aesthetic, though I believe 2019 pulls it off better.
That being said, I still enjoy the look of 2004, and think it’s the best from 2004-2013. I find the tail in 2005 to be a tad too yellow, and I don’t like how the outer parts of the blue globe can be seen beneath the tail in 2009 and 2013. 2004 is just sublime.
Not sure what 2002 is doing, because that sure as hell aint a fox xD
Others mentioned ways to remove the sponsored links, though while on the subject of home pages, I’d like to shout out Tabliss. It’s the home page that I use, and is fairly simple. Gives me a background I can choose, as well as widgets for time, weather, etc.
Honestly, a pretty valid take, all things considered. I can see why many people would find the headline outrageous, but reading through the article, I think it’s a message that a lot of people do need to hear. And I think everyone should read what OP is conveying before jumping to conclusions.
I’ve seen people on Lemmy with mixed opinions on how Lemmy and the Fediverse should be treated. Some want to expand Lemmy and siphon off as many users from Reddit, while others want to keep the gates tight. Some want Lemmy to remain a small, niche community for enthusiasts, while others want the Fediverse to be a new paradigm for the maintstream internet.
I agree, that Fediverse platforms built up with donations and little to no profit incentive will likely remain dwarfed compared to the tech giants that can afford to give the public the high-end, high-production social media they ultimately prefer. As OP said, that’s okay. The fediverse can remain a viable alternative, even if it doesn’t become the new #1.
I think this is a message people should hear if they think Lemmy has the potential to outright eclipse Reddit at the moment, or think the Fediverse will take over the entirety of the internet and give the top tech companies a run for their money in doing so.
Multiple distros and instances are a double edged sword. It isn’t as basic as having one site like Reddit or one OS like Windows, but has the advantage of not being at the mercy of one company like Reddit Inc or Microsoft, should they push some change people don’t like. These distros/instances allow for individuals to tailor their experience however they want without having to beg the developers or admins to listen to them.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If you want to avoid the shitshow happening on Reddit now, you may have to make things too complicated for the “average grandma” to understand. That’s just how shit works.
Who the fuck cares about instances and whatnot when an average grandma just wants to make a post on knitting in a supportive community?
To put it simply, who the fuck cares about the average grandma when we want a forum that won’t turn into Reddit in the next decade?
At some point, I’m sick and tired of this notion that everything on the internet has to be simplified for the lowest common denominator. Lemmy isn’t hard to get a handle on. Either people learn how to use it, or they miss out. We can streamline the process as much as possible, but not to the extent of compromising on what makes federation valuable.
I may be in the minority on this, but I wear pants to work every day, even in the summer, and it doesn’t feel uncomfortable. I just like wearing my jeans, and if anything, I’ve gotten more flak from friends about not wearing shorts enough
21 yo software dev here, so not quite older, but I’d say I fit the tech nerd bill lmao
While a lot of people are conscious about the software they use, I think being involved in tech, either as a hobby or career, ups the chance that a person will care about things like user privacy, how an app is run, algorithms that might manipulate the user, or even how technologically literate the rest of the community is
And that isn’t to be condescending towards people who are more apathetic about it. It’s like how a doctor might be more behooved to eat healthy; when you’ve seen and studied what can go wrong, you’re more compelled to avoid it
By old ways, do you mean in-person interviews and work?
Because I won’t lie, I do find it easier to collaborate, focus, and communicate with my coworkers in-person, as opposed to the days I work remotely (I do a combination of in-person and work-from-home). And while I think it’s unfair to be denied a job for not being sociable enough (I’m very much in the same boat), the overall idea of wanting employees who communicate with and get along with their coworkers better isn’t inherently wrong.
